Results for age and crime
1 results foundAuthor: Matthews, Ben Title: Where have all the young offenders gone? Summary: Key points - The crime drop that has happened in Scotland since the early 1990s is not evenly distributed among offenders. - There has been a substantial decline in the rate of convictions of people aged 25 or under, in particular young men. - By contrast, rates of convictions for people over 26 have been mostly stable. - These changes have not occurred evenly over time. There were substantial drops in rates of convictions for young men (but not young women) between 1989 and 1999, slight increases in convictions for all age groups between 2000 and 2006, then substantial declines in conviction rates for both young men and young women between 2007 and 2012. - Examining changing patterns of age and crime in Scotland suggests that further work is required to explain this sharp decline in youth convictions.
